Our shared goal is gradually being achieved
Belgrade,
12 March 2005
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said on the occasion of the second anniversary of the assassination of Zoran Djindjic that the late Prime Minister had introduced an incredible resolve and much needed faith in the restoration of Serbia’s democratic institutions.
“I know and remember him from earlier and no less exasperating times when he radiated the enormous energy and unwavering resolve to carry out the ideas and beliefs he stood for,” Kostunica told Beta news agency.
According to him, “in our emerging democracy, natural political differences” between him and Djindjic could not “at any point” put in question their “shared goal for Serbia, as a democratic state, to become part of an expanded European family of nations.”
“Today, this goal is gradually being achieved thanks to everything that Zoran Djindjic did or intended to do,” said Kostunica.
Zoran Djindjic was assassinated on March 12, 2003, just outside the main government building in central Belgrade. The trial of a group accused of carrying out the assassination is in progress at Belgrade’s Special Court for Organised Crime.
